The Cyber Crime Subdivision has issued a warning after receiving numerous reports of suspicious SMS messages that falsely claim to be from GESY, the national health system.
The messages typically alert recipients to a supposed problem with accessing GESY’s online portal and urge them to click a link to “fix” the issue. Authorities say the links actually direct users to fraudulent websites designed to steal passwords, a tactic known as phishing.
Officials emphasized that GESY has no connection to these messages and urged the public to exercise caution.
Cyber Crime Advice to the public:
- Do not click on links or respond to unexpected messages.
- Keep personal information and passwords private.
- Verify the authenticity of any request for login details.
- If credentials have already been entered on a suspicious site, change passwords immediately and secure the account.
- Use unique passwords for each online service.
The Cyber Crime Subdivision encouraged citizens to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity.
